SUMMARY:From Zero to AI Hero: Build Production-Ready Agents with Bedrock AgentCore
DESCRIPTION:AI agents are everywhere\, but how do you actually build one that’s production-ready? \nIn this hands-on session\, **Tom Hanley (AWS SA Manager)** and **Kathy Huffstetler (AWS Sr. Solutions Architect)** will walk us through how to rapidly build\, deploy\, and operationalize AI agents using **Amazon Bedrock AgentCore**. \nThis session is designed for builders who want more than theory. We’ll cover architecture\, best practices\, and then actually deploy an agent live. \nPerfect for developers\, architects\, and anyone building with generative AI on AWS. \nBring your laptop\, your curiosity\, and let’s build.
